Description

In this episode we talk to Jessie about how she handled an aggressive pig. Jessie was not always a pig lover. Her daughter wanted a farm pig themed party and the day after the party Jessie's father brought home 2 baby pigs for her daughter. They were told that the female pig was spayed but 3 months later they had 4 baby pigs. They all were trampled except 1 so she hand raised the one that was left. She turned to Google and Facebook pages to learn how to raise a pig but found very misleading information.  She didn't understand the pigs body language after she turned 1 and that's when Leila became aggressive to the point of biting. When she got bit that is when she became fearful of her. She reached out for help and got totally different answers from so many different people and started to consider rehoming Leila because she didn't know what else to do. She decided to get on YouTube and found my channel and reached out for help. After about 1 year of working with Leila and learning her body language she is doing much better and is not charging at Jessie or biting anymore. She tells us the tactics she used to train Leila to not be so aggressive. Jessie decided to get another pig Harley, so Leila wasn't lonely from needing to be separated due to her behaviors. Harley was about 1 year old when he came home, and he quickly became the top hog and has put Leila in her place and that has changed her personality for the better. Harley was a piglet from Autumn Acres and has found an amazing fit in Jessies home. The two pigs are polar opposites but they each are so loved. The thing Jessie loves most about Leila is that she is so lazy and loves to cuddle and Harley is the one that keeps everyone on their toes and loves to talk.
